1 The Tower Prologue

Its been 83 years since the tower descended on to earth. Five landed across the globe. One in Egypt,China,America,Australia,and in the north pole. At that time no one really knew what they where or what they did. The governments stepped in immediately and surrounded the towers not letting anyone get close. The Media was broadcasting live shows across the whole world.

Millions where claiming it was the end. God has Forsaken us and that these towers were the Towers Of death. Some still call them that to this day.

July 8th 2020 the towers doors opened and unleashed hell upon the world. Monsters 20 to 50 feet tall weighing tons charged out of the tower. Killing military and government officials across the world. On that day the world changed. Millions went missing from across the world. Every country was affected. My parents were part of the first to disappear.

Not that I ever knew my parents. I was born 3 days before the tower opened and they were taken. Of course no one knew at the time that it was the tower that took people. The people blamed who they always did for their problems other people.

Neighbor broke into others houses burned down buildings. Governments collapsed. Thousands died but little did we know they where the lucky ones.

I was adopted by a 28 year old who found me in the ward surrounded by a gold bubble. He was a kind hearted man. He couldn't stand to leave me alone. I was two when I was found. The tower put me in the bubble to keep me alive. The monsters that came out of the tower had already captured two thirds of the population. The rest were living in the wilderness. Most knew it was only a matter of time till they got dragged off into its dark depths. Some survivors committed suicide.

My new dad Hank always kept us on the run feeding me meat from whatever small game he could kill or vegetables he found. We hid anywhere we could sometimes under ground in old shacks. No matter how far we ran we could hear the call of the monsters. Sometimes we run into other survivors always in groups of 3 to 5 never bigger in fear of being found. Some where friendly offering advice on ways not to go others tried to rob us of meager belongings. Sometimes we be with someone and they just glow a red light and flash away. It was learned the hard way that when that happened monster would follow. That's how I was captured.

I was 14 when they finally got me. Hank stopped at a old gas station to see if we could find any lighters or beer. When we entered there was a group of 3 in there already. Two turned around and pointed sharpened sticks at us. They weren't the most friendly but who is when someone sneaks up on you in a monster infested world.

"Whatda ya want we were here first but maybe we'll share if you don't back stab us." says one with a pink pointed Mohawk.

"Just want some beer and lighters" responds Hank in his deep authority voice.

"You're the first survivors we've seen in months. So as long as you don't try anything fishy you can take all the lighters and beer you want."

Mohawk's friend who had a long neck and was tall with wide eyes and a big nose asked "Why do you want beer anyway you a alcoholic?

"No its smell can distract monster for a few minutes and let us escape or so we were told by a traveler about 3 months ago."

As we were gathering the supplies and Mohawk was watching us with his pointy stick in his hand. We heard a monster howl. Immediately everyone froze it sounded fairly close had to be within 500 yards of us from the sound alone.

"No one make a sound from this moment forward or we're screwed okay?" said Hank

Everyone including me just nodded. Hank moved closer to me and whispered into my ear. "Remember Lucas no matter what happens make sure to stay behind me if I fall run as far as you can as fast as you can."

"Yes,Sir." He never made me call him dad or anything but he was the only father I really knew. He always protect me first.

The monster howl sounded closer then what it was before. Maybe with a 100 feet of us. Hank started to push me towards the back of the story so we wouldn't be spotted. However that's when everything went to shit. Long neck started to glow red. The monster and what sounded like thousands of others all started to howl buildings next to the gas station got knocked into making a banging sound as the monster scrambled to reach us. Hank grabbed my hand and ran towards the back of the story but we ran into what had to be the managers old office instead of a way out.

I heard Mohawk scream and then he went silent like he just disappeared. Hank slammed the door and pushed the metal desk infront of it and got his rebar spear ready a monster claw shredder through the hollow metal door and bite into the desk taking a small chunk out of it. It bashed its wolf like head through the hole it made and was stabbed by hank. However it kept pushing and forced its body through and swiped at hank hitting. Him and making him flash red however Hank slammed his spear into ita head killing the beast. He turned towards me and opened his mouth but the red light just grew bright that. I had to close my eyes and when I opened them he was gone. I looked around frantically trying to find out where he disappeared to. However a human shaped object appeared in the room with me.

He bent down over the monstrous wolf that Hank killed. His eyes glowing red and letting off and oppressive aurora turned towards me.

"How dare a mere human harm my beloved pet. I may not be able to kill you out here but when you enter the tower. I will hunt you down with my minions and I will torture your soul for a thousand years. You better hope you die on the lower realms for if you ever reach mine I'll kill you."

With that he threw a red stone that hit me in the eye and I disappeared. When I opened my eye all I saw was

WELCOME TO THE TOWER OF BABOLOAWN. MAY YOU RAISE OR FALL DUE TO YOU ACTIONS.
